It's our first climb in Yosemite, Mancinella, three pitches, it's hot, it's really hot and humid but we're right next to the lower falls and it's really beautiful. gonna be a two pitch climb in this one. Oh really? Yeah I think from here I think his friend just topped out. Sweet. So we can go do some single pitch. Nice. They did a Cathedral Peak classic climb that we were gonna do in Tuolumne. Oh nice. Yesterday or a couple days ago. Yeah how was it? It was pretty fun. Sweet. Some like fun spots. Yeah. With the view up there like you're just sitting like a six foot rock. That's cool. That's awesome. Yeah that's why alpine climbing is usually my favorite. You just get so high up I suppose. It's just good views. Alright we are out here on our first climb in Yosemite Valley. There's Half Dome and here's the valley which is just beautiful. Forest floor below. This is Marginella. We're gonna move up there to the top. So just having a good time. It's good stuff out here and first Yosemite climb so pretty awesome. Yosemite Falls is just around this corner. You can't see it right now but pretty sweet views as we go up. Oh yeah. Nice. Oh god. It hurts. Always. The hills. Fun movement though. Yeah definitely is. Bright looks so tempting but. Yeah. Burn out the day. Burn out the night. Ow ow ow ow. Can you pause there? Oh yeah. Oh yeah I can. I'm Floyd though. Alright here's Kristen coming up to the Pitch 2 belay on Marginella. Here's a view of the valley. The falls up there and Lost Arrow Spire. There we are and uh gonna head up around this corner up to the top of the climb. Oh wow. That was not pleasant on the feet. No that hurt quite a bit. Cool climb though. That was fun. Do you want to uh step up and over? Yeah. Showing everyone that I'm part of the tribe. Let's do the next round. Jordan wants to wear a big hat. I want to wear a big hat. Clovis, California. He wants to trade his helmet for a big hat and become a ranter. Alright just topped out on our Marginella climb. Three pitches. First climb in Yosemite. Beautiful views of Half Dome and upper Yosemite Falls through there which is pretty cool. So we're gonna hike down back to our packs. Maybe do some more climbing or hike to the falls and just hang out. Good stuff up here so. Having fun. More days in the valley. We just did a oak tree route. I'm not sure what it was called. It was a fun crack and now we're gonna just rope some finger cracks. You can see that one that double finger crack right there. No. I don't want my eyes to burn for the rest of my life. Alright we stayed next to Half Dome and Lower Pines yesterday and while Jordan was reading outside he met some PCTers and they said they loved our van and then they left us this nice little note this morning because we let them stay in our camp and we thought there were only two of them but there were actually six of them. Hello friends. Thank you so much for letting us crash your wonderful camping spot. We slept like babies and no rangers woke us up in the middle of the night to call us vagrants. Please enjoy your new lifestyle in your van. It's the best way to live and you are going to learn so much every day. If you ever need a tip or a shower and friends in western North Carolina hit us up. Grayson, Tina and then they said thank you. Grayson, Tina, Crusher, Be very careful in this. Hollow? Yep very hollow. Oh wow it's beautiful. Nice. Alright here we are on top of Bishop's Terrace. What is called the one of the best 5.8's in the valley. Out here in Yosemite. You know a couple pitch climb. 5.8 pretty sweet crack and there you can see down the valley towards where El Cap is. So pretty sweet. You can see down to the ground over there. Pretty good stuff out here. Just having fun. Doing some good cracks before we head up to the Tuolumne Meadows to do some alpine climbs. Alright so one of Kristen's childhood dreams is to get the Dino Eggs Oatmeal but put every single sugar egg into one packet of oatmeal. So we now have dumped out 10 packets of eggs into one pack of oatmeal. We're about to pour the water in and see her consume 80 grams of sugar for breakfast. Pure sugar. Sugar for breakfast. And we have a deal she has to eat every single egg. So before we go hiking today she's finishing all the eggs. I really hope she throws up on the trail in front of all these families. Nothing else to say. It's your childhood dream come true. Maybe this is why parents don't let kids do this.
